The Ellis Volunteer
Fire Department is composed of 20 volunteers. These members volunteer
their time to protect Ellis residents from fire and other dangers. They
are trained in many other areas.

Some of the supplementary training they have is CPR/First Aid, Weather
Watch, and Water Rescue. These volunteers meet twice a month on the
first and third Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. They are a dedicated group who
take their jobs seriously.

Volunteers play a vital role in our community and our firefighters are
a fine example of Ellis's "can do" spirit. An example of this spirit
occurs annually during National Fire Prevention Week. The volunteers
visit the Ellis schools providing education to our young people on fire
prevention.

Extra special care for the restoration was provided by Denis Vine,
Dustin Vine, Wesley James, Les Weber and other members of the
department. They restored this "local one-owner" to its former glory for the community and for future generations.
